I bet you have great talks round the dinner table ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Thatโ€™s actually quite a good joke to be fair ๐Ÿ˜.

Looks lovely and worth all the tears ๐Ÿ˜‹.
Never seen onions like that before.

I think animated talking is best, rather like Estelle does so you are in good company.
All the best for the rest of your talks.

They obviously donโ€™t know you that well or follow you much as they would not need to say this! Honestly, some people, nothing better to do.

Thatโ€™s excellent, Kate! Youโ€™ve got to have a steady hand to that ๐Ÿ˜Š. Rainbow vomit - love it!

A very good and interesting YouTube video.

Thank you, Hallie ๐Ÿ˜Š

Totally agree. Itโ€™s my birthday today and itโ€™s weird seeing all Christmas stuff in she shops etc. when itโ€™s still a month and a half away. Let Autumn finish at least!

This sounds great and worth doing if you can.

This sounds great and a fantastic idea and a good thing to do. I unfortunately canโ€™t commit to doing this in January. All the very best with it. You deserve it with the work you have put in.

Nice one, Alex. Well done on bigging up the Tudors ๐Ÿ˜.

Wow! What a great atmospheric photo that is. Captured it perfectly.

This is not good and can lead to all sorts of false things. I bet in a way you wish it was that easy to write a book and not really know you had written it though ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Oh my, that looks amazing ๐Ÿ˜‹.

Congratulations, pleased it went well for you. Loving the look of the cake with the book topper.

All the very best in your editing process. Looking forward to reading it.
That poem is brilliant. An excellent way to tell the Battle of Britain story.

That looks a great view.

Itโ€™s certainly the time of year for nourishing dinners so go ahead and cook while your brain sponge becomes more absorbent and you recover from 6 insanely busy weeks.

Enjoyed watching that. Very interesting to hear about the Battle of Britain from the German perspective. Learnt a lot I didnโ€™t know or even think about.

As you do. How to frighten sales people if they get into your house ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I didnโ€™t realise those rickshaws went so fast ๐Ÿ˜‚. Hope your friend enjoyed watching it ๐Ÿ˜.

Many congratulations and well done. It looks really great and if I was in the area I would certainly attend.

That must have been very moving for you. Pleased you got to pay your respects.

What an excellent account this is to follow. It sure does make you happy ( in a macabre way ๐Ÿ˜‚) to view in this modern 2025 world! You also learn a lot ๐Ÿ˜Š.

So weird indeed. I just think some people donโ€™t have a life and pick on people and unfortunately this person has picked on you. They probably donโ€™t have IG or FB so donโ€™t see you on there?
I find Bluesky far less political than X.
Keep up the good work, Lindsey, I say ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Missed this yesterday. This, this is soโ€ฆ.?? I donโ€™t think they know you at all or could have followed your cancer diagnosis journey or anything in reality. So sorry this has happened to you. Glad youโ€™ve outed her(?). I know you are strong but this sort of thing would knock anyone sideways. Take care
